Manly Saturday Lunch Downtown

Looking for somewhere to have a lunch/brunch with my dad when he comes into town on Saturday for my wedding. He'll be staying near the WTC site, so someplace in Tribeca or Financial District area. Had thought of City Hall, but they apparently aren't open for brunch in August. Having a hard time finding an alternative.

Walker's is great joint, one of my favs. But if you want to walk a bit, you could go over the Stone Street (the street, not the restaurant) in the Financial District (FiDi). There you will find 10 or so restaurants offering just about everything; for example, American, Irish (ulyssesfolkhouse.com), Mexican (maddogandbeans.com), Swedish (Smorgas.com), Pizza (adriennespizzabar.com) and all offering ourdoor seating. Also, on Saturday, Harry's ,at the end of the block, (harrynec.com)has a terrific brunch,but only indoor seating. And it doesn't get more manly than Harry's (serious Wall Street players' joint). In any event, please let us know what you do, and how it turns out.
